Menu Commands

Application Menu

About Mori Show information panel with Mori’s version information and license status.

Preferences Open Mori’s preferences panel.

Services Display the OS X services menu. Services are one way that OS X applications can share information. To user Mori’s serivice menu items select some text in some OS X application and then choose the Mori service menu item.

The OS X services menu can quickly become unwieldy as every application on your computer adds menu items and shortcuts to it. If you decide to make use of the services menu we highly recommend the donation-ware application Service Scrubber. That will let you take out services that you don’t use, and assign your own keyboard shortcuts to the items that you do use.
